Hamilton, Ontario – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has signed import quarterback Kevin Glenn.

“Kevin’s talent, experience and leadership will make him a valuable member of our team,” said general manager Bob O’Billovich.  “He will be a great fit in our offence and will give us a better chance to win in 2009.”

Glenn, a 5-10, 203-pound native of Detroit, Michigan has played eight CFL seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2001-03) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2004-08).  In 132 career games, Glenn has thrown for 20,339 yards and 109 touchdowns while adding 939 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns.

The Illinois State product enjoyed his most successful season in 2007, when he was named the East Division’s Most Outstanding Player and an East Division all-star after leading the league with 5,114 passing yards while also registering 25 touchdown passes.  Glenn led the Bombers to a 10-7-1 record and a berth in the 2007 Grey Cup final, but was unable to play in the championship game after suffering an arm injury in Winnipeg’s East Semi-Final win over Toronto.

Prior to turning pro, Glenn spent four years at Illinois State where he set 25 school records and let the Redbirds to their first Gateway Football Conference Championship.
